STOVE OR RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 474,729, dated May 10,1892.

Application filed November 18| 1891. Serial No. 412.305. (No model.)

T @ZZ whom t may concern:

. Be it known that I, GEORGE A. FISHER, a citiin Stoves or Ranges, ofwhich the followingv is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a stove or range with a framehaving a burner- Io chamber containinga burner in such manner that theframe can be turned down flat upon the top plate of the stove or range,so

that the burner-chamber enters a pot-hole in the top plate when theburner-chamber is to x be used for heating or cooking.

To accomplish this object, my invention involves the features ofconstrucution and the combination or arrangement of devices hereinafterdescribed and claimed, reference bezo ing made to the accompanyingdrawings, in

Which- Y Figure l represents a partial front view of a stove or rangeprovided with my burnerframe turned down for use. Fig. 2 is an end z5view of the same when the burner-frame is turned down for use. Fig. 3 isavertical section in the plane 0cm, Fig. 2, when the burnerframe isturnes down for use. Fig. 4 is a sectional view when the burner-frame isturnedV 3o up, leaving the top plate of the sto've or rangeunobstructed. Fig. 5 is an end view when the burner-frame is turned up.Fig. 6 is a longitudinal vertical section in the plane a a, Fig'. 5.Fig. 7 is a horizontal section in the plane y y, Fig. Lon alarger scalethan the previous figures.

plane Fig. 4, on the same scale as Fig. 7.

In the drawings, theletter A designates the top plate of a stove orrange. To one end of this plate are secured two brackets B B, whichextend in a horizontal direction beyond the edge of the top plate andwhich form the bearings for a pipe C, and on this pipe is mounted aplate or frame D, which carries one or more burner-chambers E, (twobeing shown in the drawings,) and a correspondingnumloerof gasburners F.The pipe C may be firmly mount.- ed in the brackets B, and in that casethe burner-frame D will be made to turn or swing 5o on said pipe; but Iprefer to mount the burnerframe firmly on the pipe C, and in that caseFig. 8 is a horizontal section in the this pipe is made to turn freelyin its bearings. From the pipe C extend branch pipes Gr, one

to each of the burners F, and these branch pipes are provided withstop-cocks a, so'that 55 the communication between the pipes O and eachof the burners can be opened or closed,

as may be required. One end of the pipe C is fitted gas-tight into asocket H, which communicates by a channel b with a gas-supply 6o pipe l,and the pipe C is provided with a hole c, which is so situated that whenthe burnerframe D is turned down toits workingposition, Figsl, 2, and 7,the hole c registers with the channel b in the socket H, and the pipe Cis supplied with gas; but when theburner-fraine D is swung up to itsvertical position, Figs. o' and 8, the communication between thegassnpply pipe l and the pipe C is cut off.

The burner-chambers E bulge out of or pro- 7o ject fromtheinnersurfaceoftheburner-'frame D, and in order to allow cf foldingthis frame down fiat upon the top plate A of the stove or range thedistance of the burner-chambers E from the pipe C must be equal to thedistance of the holes J in the top plate from the said pipe, and saidburner-chambers must otherwise be so placed that when the covers K ofthe holesJ are removed and the burner-frame is turned down to theposition shown in Figs. 8o l, 2, and 3 the burner-chambers E extend downinto the holes J, and the frame D lies fiat upon the top plate of thestove. At the same time, if the burner-frames are used for cookingpurposes, all drippings produced during the operation of cooking orbroiling run down through the holes J into the fireplace of the stove orrange, and the surface ot' the top plate A is not soiled.

From the edge of the frame D projectsastud 9o d, on which swings thecatch e, and if said fra-me is turned up to the position shown in Fig. 4this catch engages a lugf, projecting from the edge of the bracket B. Bythese means the burner-frame is retained in a vertical position, andwhen it is turned up to this position the surface of the top plate A isleft entirely free or unobstructed, while at the same time theburner-frame forms a guard which prevents articles from dropping off ac-Ico cidentally over that end of the top plate to which the burner-frameis attached.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a stove or range having its top plate providedwith a pot-hole, of brackets extending in ahorizontal direction beyondthe edge ofthe top plate and a swinging frame pivoted to the bracketsand carrying a projecting burner-chamber containing a burner andentering the pot-hole of the top plate when the frame is swung downwardupon the lat-ter for use in heating or cooking, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination, with a stove or range, of brackets extendingout-ward from one end or the top plate of the stove or` range, a gaspipeC, mounted in said brackets, a frame D, carrying a burner-chamber E, andburner F, mounted on this gas-pipe and constructed to swingr inward uponthe top plate or upward to a perpendicular position, a catch forretaining said frame in its vertical position, and a suitablecommunication between the gaspipe and the burner, substantially asdescribed.

3. The combination, with a stove or range,

' of brackets extending from the top plate ot the stove or range, agas-pipe C, mounted in said brackets, a frame D, carrying aburnerchamber E, and burner F, mounted on this gasppe and constructed toswing inward upon the top plate or upward to a perpendicular position, achannel G, extending from the gaspipe to the burner, and a catch forretaining the frame D in its upright position, substantially asdescribed.

4. The combination, with a stove or range, of brackets extending fromthe top plate of the stove or range, a gas-pipe C, mounted loosely insaid brackets, a frame D, carrying a burnerchamber E, and burner F,mounted firmly on said gas-pipe, a channel G, extending from thegas-pipe to the burner, a socket H, fitting the gas-pipe C andcommunicating with a gassupply pipe I, and openings b c, respectively,in the socket and in the gas-pipe, said openings being so situated thatthey register when the frame D is turned down upon the top plate,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of theltwo subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE A. FISHER.
